Funny Video of Forrest Exploring the Fall Leaves

I got home from work a little early today, so I had some daylight still left to take Forrest outside. So funny watching him play in the leaves. Hope no one is offended by the last clip...I was videoing him & realized as I was filming him that he was going to the bathroom. Don't worry you don't see anything but his face

Way to "GO" Forest! I knew that was comming without reading your warning....it is the nose to the ground in a special way that they all have. Neat video...thanks!

Shelter dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. Do not pity a shelter dog. Adopt one.

Chuck-Unfortunately Forrest is distracted by anything that moves. So, the nose to the ground may mean that he needs to go, but if something as much as a leaf moves he's done for and the search for a spot is forgotten about for a few minutes. I hold my breath when we go outside that a car won't drive by or someone won't walk by or a big gust of wind blows the leaves because it just prolongs the outing. It can be exhausting!

Jessie- I was using my old Nikon SLR that has some HD video capabilities- Nikon D90. The video is manual focus though, so as you can see from the video I had a difficult time with the manual focus and moving puppy. It's also limited to 5 minute clips, but works great as long as I'm patient enough to deal with the manual focus.
